Power, Blood, and Money: How Witches Are Driving America’s Destruction
Introduction
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern America, the clash between spiritual and secular realms has intensified. One aspect of this battle is the influence of occult practices and their impact on society. The Tanakh, the foundational text for Messianic Jewish believers, provides profound insights into the dangers of occultism and its destructive consequences.
This article delves into how occult practices, particularly witchcraft, are contributing to America's societal and moral decline, drawing on Tanakh verses to illuminate the path from power and blood to money and destruction.
The Deceptive Allure of Power
The pursuit of power through occult means is a significant concern in the Tanakh. Witchcraft and sorcery offer an alluring promise of control and influence, but they are inherently opposed to the divine order established by God.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns against such practices:
"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you."
This passage highlights the severe condemnation of occult practices. The quest for power through witchcraft is seen as abhorrent to God, and such practices invite divine judgment. The pursuit of occult power often leads to moral and spiritual corruption, undermining the very fabric of society.
The Corruption of Blood
Blood is a recurring motif in the Tanakh, symbolizing life, covenant, and sacredness. The misuse of blood in occult rituals is a profound violation of divine commandments and contributes to societal decay.
Leviticus 17:10-14 emphasizes the sanctity of blood:
"Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats any blood—I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut them off from their people. For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.’"
The misuse of blood in occult practices often involves rituals and sacrifices that defy this commandment. Such acts not only breach God's laws but also bring a curse upon those who engage in them. The violation of the sanctity of blood through these practices signifies a deep moral and spiritual corruption.
The Role of Money in Witchcraft
Money, as a tool and symbol, plays a significant role in the practice of witchcraft. Occult practitioners often exploit financial gain to fund their activities and influence societal norms. This corruption of money aligns with the broader theme of moral and spiritual degradation.
Micah 3:11 provides a stark warning:
"Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the LORD’s support and say, ‘Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us.’"
This verse illustrates the corruption of religious and social leaders who exploit their positions for personal gain, including financial gain. The intersection of money and witchcraft often involves the manipulation of spiritual and moral principles for financial benefit, leading to widespread societal harm.
The Consequences of Occult Influence
The destructive influence of witchcraft on society is evident in the decline of moral values, societal norms, and spiritual integrity. The Tanakh outlines the inevitable consequences of engaging in such practices.
Isaiah 47:12-13 describes the downfall of those who rely on occult practices:
"So now, stand still with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have labored since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you."
The text emphasizes the futility and ultimate failure of relying on occult practices for guidance and protection. The collapse of such systems reveals their inherent weakness and the ensuing chaos they bring to society.
The Call to Righteousness and Vigilance
In light of these warnings, Messianic Jewish believers are called to stand firm against the encroachment of occult practices and to uphold righteousness.
Psalm 1:1-2 provides guidance for a righteous path:
"Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night."
Believers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the teachings of the Tanakh and to live according to its divine guidance. By rejecting the influence of witchcraft and occult practices, believers contribute to the restoration of societal and spiritual integrity.
Conclusion
The destructive influence of witchcraft and occult practices on America is a profound concern for Messianic Jewish believers. Drawing on Tanakh verses, we see that the pursuit of power through occult means, the misuse of blood, and the corruption of money are deeply condemned by God. These practices lead to societal and moral decline, and their consequences are far-reaching.
As believers, we are called to uphold righteousness, reject the temptations of occult practices, and live according to the divine guidance provided in the Tanakh. By doing so, we contribute to a more just and righteous society, countering the destructive forces at play and fostering a community rooted in the teachings and values of the Tanakh.
